Some inspiration...

History says, don't hope
On this side of the grave.
But then, once in a lifetime
The longed-for tidal wave
Of justice can rise up,
And hope and history rhyme.

So hope for a great sea-change
On the far side of revenge.
Believe that further shore
Is reachable from here.
Believe in miracle
And cures and healing wells.


The Cure at Troy - Seamus Heaney

then you will not be overjoyed in good fortune
nor too sorrowful
in misfortune.' -Socrates
